DJ Quik and Kurupt Make An Album

Apparently Terrance Martin isn’t the only producer Kurupt has been makin’ music with. It’s just been announced that the Dogg Pound MC has paired with legendary West Coast trackmaster, DJ Quik for The Blaqkout due June 9. Take that Red and Meth!

In a press release, Quik explains why the album became a reality:

“Kurupt does in rap what I do in music. It just made sense. Kurupt is a gangster rapper in the sense of being raw, bare-bones and uncut. I wanted to do music that evoked certain feelings and could show his microphone superiority.”

Highlighted cuts to check for include the title track, the explosive “9 Times Out Of Ten” and “Hey Playa” (Moroccan Blues) which includes a sample from a song Quik heard in a Morocco episode of this show.
